Summary

David Hayward AKA NakedPastor is a former pastor turned artist and author whose work encourages seeking one's authentic self, religious deconstruction, and freedom of thought. He holds a Masters degree in Theological Studies, as well as Diplomas in Religious Studies and Ministry. David resides in Eastern Coastal Canada where the natural surroundings have helped him to find inner peace within the natural world as he pursues his art full time which he has done for the past decade. The idea of NakedPastor has since grown into a diverse global community of independent thinkers who support each other on their journey to personal spiritual freedom. Committed to truth, authenticity, and understanding, he supports LGBTQ+ people and groups, BIPOC, and women artists, and he encourages his fans to do the same. David is probably best known for his cartoons which in their powerful simplicity speak louder than words and go straight to the heart. Through these cartoons, he challenges problematic norms in religious spaces and life in general. They inspire, provoke, and start difficult conversations. In this thoughtful and revealing conversation, David shares some of the deeply personal insights that inform his artwork. Together he and Rachel explore what healthy spiritual seeking looks like and point out the ways in which people often get stuck. Throughout the discussion, Rachel and David offer advice on personal and philosophical growth from their respective experiences and traditions. Before You Go: Rachel emphasizes the importance of self-expression and explains how high-control organizations hinder individual assertion to ensure conformity among members.

0:00.0	Welcome to indoctrination, a weekly conversation series about protecting yourself from systems of control.
0:11.1	I'm your host, Rachel Bernstein.
0:13.4	Hi, everybody. As some of you may know, over the past couple of years, I've done several
0:18.2	webinars and video lectures on a variety of topics that also come
0:22.9	up on this podcast. There is unfortunately a lack of qualified therapists who specialize in working
0:29.5	with cult survivors and their concerned family members. Since I can only see a finite number
0:35.0	of clients myself, I wanted to share insights from my 30 plus years
0:39.2	of doing this work with as many people as possible. So, in pursuit of that goal, I've made all of my
0:47.1	recent video lectures available on my website, rachel Bernsteintherapy.com. You can find a link to the page in the show notes of this episode.

1:01.6	Cultic Studies Association, my Living in Freedom series for survivors and their family
1:07.6	members, and my recent lecture entitled, Why Did I Stay? Which examines the many
1:13.5	reasons people have difficulty leaving high control groups and relationships. Today on the show,
1:25.7	we have David Hayward, aka the Naked Pastor.
1:31.0	He's a former pastor-turned-artist and author, whose work encourages seeking one's authentic self and religious deconstruction and freedom of thought.
